Benefits of Using Olive Oil on your Hair

When massaged into the scalp it will moisturize your scalp, reducing the appearance of your dandruff naturally, with no chemically laden shampoos. Use the treatment as often as needed until the problem fades and then just once or twice a week to keep it from reoccurring.

How I use honey and olive oil on my hair 

1. I add 2 tablespoons of honey and olive oil to my conditioner for extra moisture and shine. Sometimes, I add just the olive oil but when I add honey, I stay for a maximum of 20 minutes before rinsing.

2. I mix four to five tablespoons of honey and olive oil together and apply to the length of my hair for 10 to 20 minutes, rinse and then condition afterwards.
